TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: A

Be it known that l, ELEAZER MARBLE, of Hanover, Rock county, inthe State ot' Wisconsin, have invented a new and improved Washing Machine; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side view or elevation, with side broken away so as to show interior construction and arrangement of parts.

Figure 2 is a top view of thc saine; and

Figure 3-is` a longitudinal vertical section thereof.

The nature of my invention consists in the employment of corrugated rollers arranged horiontally and parallel to each other, substantially as hereinafter described, and combined.k in two series, attached to separate frameworks, one abovethe other, the one above resting en the lower and the lower supported on a swinging frame; the two series, upper andnlower, being attached respectively above and below the fulerum of an upright operating lever in such a manner that when the lever is operated the two series of corrugated rollers are moved in opposite directions over the face of any garment placed between them.

To enable'othcrs skilled in the art to make and use my nventioml will proceed to describe its construction and operation. v

l construct the box AB C and D of any desired i'orm, and provide it with suitable snpp,ort,as thelegs T. Within the hex are the corrugated rollers a. Z1, that are arranged in two series, E and F, and that take bearing atc and cl in their respective frameworks G H and I K. The upper series E rests upon the lower series F and is conneet'ed by the rod L to the upper arm of the upright operating-lever M, that is pivoted to the stud or fulerum bar N, that in turn is firmly secured by nut f or otherwise to the end D of box The lower series F is supported by the swinging or pendulum hars P', and is attached thereto by screws or pivot-pins g. Thependulum bars P are attached at their upper ends to the sides of the box by pins thatpass through the bai-sand sides, as

shown. These pendulumbars are readily lengthened or shortened at pleasure by means of the series of holes in their upper ends, as shown in drawings, thereby enabling the operator to raise or lower the. series of corrugated rollers so as to immerse the clothes the requisite depth, whatever may be the amount of water used. This series F is connected to the lower 'arm of the upright operating lever M by the connecting-rod Q in any secure. and skillfulnanner. rEhe rod L has its end 7L turned downwards so as to b e readily pla-ced in one of'the mortises or holes z' iu the cross-bar G, and there secured by the button R.

To operatevmy machine it is only necessary that the clothes be spread between the two series E and F of the corrugated rollers; thatthe box A B Gand D contain tho requisite amount of water or suds; and that the lever M be operated. To spread the clothes between the two series E and F I remove the upper screws E Ventirel. from the box. To this end the conneetinf-rod L ma be detached from the series b turning the button y s Y y e R and -withdrawing the cndJz. f v

I' ain aware that two series of rollersopcrated by gear, and xcd as to altitude in box, have been used, and l do not claim them par se, or independently of thc manner et' supporting, adjusting, and operating them.

Whatl do claim, and forv which I desire Letters Patent, is i The combination and ariangeuientof the two series of corrugated rollers E and F, with the adjustable pendulum bars P, substantially as and for the purpose set forth;

ELEAZER MARBLE.
